Chapter 147: 147, Photo, blurred backdrop
She thought it was the landlord or property manager, but when she opened the door, she found Yan Pingdan.
He looked at her, didn’t say anything, but hugged her all of a sudden and kissed her on sight.
This time she did try to resist and fight back, but his kiss had left her body weak, and she couldn’t muster the strength to push him away.
From then on, Yan Pingdan frequently visited her; first it was once every few days, then it became daily, and finally, he even moved his belongings in, living with her.
But in the company, their usual roles of director and assistant remained, and they never exchanged a word outside of work. Coupled with their short time together, no one in the company knew of their relationship; everyone still thought of her indulging in unrequited love.
Having confirmed Li Wei’s relationship with her brother, Song Qinghuan laughed. She happily held Li Wei’s hand and asked the question that had been on her mind, “Tell me, what really happened? Why did he disappear? Do you know where he is?” 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
“I don’t know, I don’t know anything,” Li Wei bit her lip, unable to control her tears, sobbing in distress, “Everything was fine, nothing happened. That day he was supposed to travel to America, I saw him off at the airport, I clearly saw him entering the boarding gate, but there was no record of him boarding the plane. He simply disappeared all of a sudden, disappeared without a trace. No one knows where he went. The boss called the police 48 hours after losing contact with him. Afterwards, people came to check the company’s accounts and discovered he had fabricated a lot of the company accounts. The company’s golf course investment also vanished all of a sudden. They said your brother took off with a huge sum of money.”
Having said all that in one breath, she took a deep breath, then anxiously spoke, “Qinghuan, your brother isn’t that kind of person, he wouldn’t do such a thing, someone must have hidden him away, or harmed him, stole the money, then…”
“Murder to silence”, these four words were stuck in her teeth.
She didn’t want to believe that the man she loved had met with misfortune and disappeared from the world like that. She shook her head desperately, “No, he won’t be in trouble, Qinghuan, you must find your brother.”
As she spoke, she had become so agitated that she grabbed Song Qinghuan’s clothes.
Song Qinghuan gently released her grip, then comforted her while defying the tears welling up in her eyes, “Don’t worry, I will find my brother!!”
Afterwards, she asked Li Wei a few questions, all related to Yan Pingdan’s work at the company. Li Wei’s answers didn’t provide her with any clue.
Previously, Li Wei used to live downstairs in an ordinary single-room apartment.
After Yan Pingdan moved in, they relocated to a two-bedroom apartment upstairs; one room was for their bedroom, the other served as Yan Pingdan’s office.
Li Wei led Song Qinghuan into the office, showing her Yan Pingdan’s belongings—just some ordinary documents, nothing unusual.
When she opened the last drawer, locked and without a key, Song Qinghuan ordered her to bring a kitchen knife, and together they pried the drawer open.
The drawer contained only some ordinary files, and few pictures.
The photos were of two men, viewed from the side and very blurry- as if they were secretly taken with a cell phone.
Why would her brother print out such photos, and then lock them in a drawer?
Could it be that…
Song Qinghuan’s sharp gaze shifted in a split second, having found no clues so far, perhaps she could use these photos to draw out the snake from its hole.
(PS: Does everyone want to know where Brother Yan is? I noticed that no one seems to care about him, they’re all just concerned about when Boss Shi will court Huanhuan, haha! Finally, congratulations to yesterday’s lucky babies: Water Moon, Mirror Flower.)
